String Together

Free Guitar Strings + a Free Lesson at Your Local Music Store

String Together brings free guitar string-changing events to music stores on Make Music Day. Sponsored by Elixir Strings, the first 12 people at each participating store receive a free set of strings and a hands-on lesson in how to change them.

How It Works

1. A local music store signs up to host a String Together event
2. Elixir Strings ships free string sets directly to the store
3. On June 21, the store hosts a free string-changing session
4. The first 12 people get free Elixir strings and a changing lesson from store staff
5. Everyone leaves with fresh strings and new skills
